TDA 3.2-1.1
Summarise entitlement and provision for early year’s education.
Thanks to the Every Child Matters and the Childcare Act 2006 all 3 and 4 years olds in England receive free part-time (12 ½ per week) for 38 weeks a year. This is government funded and the idea is for all children to have 2 years of free education before they even start school.
Early year’s provision for these very young children varies greatly from the education they will receive in KS1 as it is play focused as opposed to formal learning, which is how these very young children learn best.
The Foundation Curriculum in England and Wales runs from age 3-5 and is therefore implemented in nursery schools right up to the end of the autumn term in Year 1. It focuses on specific tasks, for example number work, language or writing activities, and the children work alongside adults who help to underpin their knowledge. The children and also encouraged to choose activities for themselves to increase confidence and independent learning.

It is also dependant on several factors I.e. the environment, stimulation and general care the child receives whilst growing, these can all impact on a child’s development and social skills.
